Pulling Off Leather Jackets

Pulling Off Leather Jackets

For some men, leather jackets are like go-to navy blazers: they work with everything year-round. For others, they're like keeping up in a jazz conversation: It's something you should kind of know about, but you really have no idea where to begin.

Whether you're a pro or aren't interested in faking it, here are guys -- celebs and ordinary types -- pulling off leather jackets. Observe. Apply. When asked to describe his signature style, Theophilus London told us that he looks to "gold buttons... searching for exclusive pins and customizing [his] own jackets." (He also told us that he'd rather not call himself a trendsetter. So much for that.) If you're fashion forward, consider taking a cue from London by adding spike detailing and studs to a classic leather jacket. Bonus if you can pull off torn jeans.
